Giant Inflatable Chicken With Trump Hair Appears Near White House
Well, this is odd:
A large inflatable chicken meant to resemble President Trump was placed near the White House on Wednesday.
The inflatable chicken, which features a golden coif of hair and hand gestures similar to Trump’s, is modeled after a statue unveiled in December as the mascot for a Chinese mall. Since the statue’s unveiling last year, smaller copies have appeared across the United States.
The inflatable chicken that appeared Wednesday appears to have been put up near the Ellipse area by the White House that is open to the public.
Here’s a better idea of where it is compared to the White House:

Trump, of course, is not in the White House today. Instead, he’s on a “working vacation” at his golf course in New Jersey:

I hope this really, really … really … bothers Trump.
@Franklin:
Ha! I’d forgotten about that post.
@al-Alameda:
Be better if it were prancing around outside Bedminster tweeting at the top of its lungs.
@al-Alameda:
Being successfully mocked is the worst thing that Trump can imagine.
That’s when flips out and calls people “fat cows” and whatnot on Twitter.

Have you been watching Preacher?
Hell, in that universe, is the place where you constantly relive your worst moment.
Eugene (Arseface) has been inadvertently sent to Hell and he is subject to the moment where he inadvertently caused his love / crush to be killed.
Hitler relives the moment when he was rejected from art school.

Trump’s Hell is where everyone is laughing at him.
What is damning and unignorable is that it is just, correct, and apt that they are laughing at him. That cuts deep.
“Now watch this drive!”
Wait. Trump’s unstable? Trump is going to get us into a war with North Korea? Then the idiot think it is wise to taunt Trump with a chicken effigy?
@JKB:..wise to taunt Trump with a chicken effigy?
Doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with inflatable chickens.
Divine Providence is running the show now.
Fox News says so.
@JKB: Thought you guys had all agreed that Obama was the thin-skinned one?
Since the guy went to a lot of trouble to set up this protest, it seems only courteous to note his point.
Hard to argue with that.
Oddly, @JKB: has a point, Trump could be goaded into doing something stupid, beyond his norm. Looks to me like Medvedev’s tweet was designed to do exactly that. But what are we do to, just ignore the 800 pound insane chicken in the WH?
I’ve got $20 says Barron is responsible, with a $10 sidebet that Melania let him use her credit card.
@Mister Bluster: I’m not religious, but I usually try to avoid being anti-religious. I make major exceptions for losers like that pastor, though. That and anybody who claims a natural disaster was because of the gheys.
@Franklin: I am irreligious, and I also try not to be anti-religious. Especially around my brother, the Reverend Bruce. But it’s hard to get around that religion is a root cause of our current political dysfunction. There are an awful lot of people who will vote for any lying arse Republican who says he’s agin abortion, no matter what else he does. And too many pastors who are happy to profit from it. And way too many Republicans who are happy to take advantage of this.
@de stijl:
Dead on, exactly.
The most thin-skinned public figure I’ve ever seen.
Haven’t seen that show, but perhaps I should check it out.
@al-Alameda:
Highly recommend Preacher.
You can stream it with the AMC app or hulu. Or Mondays at 9/8 pm on AMC.
I do not trust anyone that claims to know what god is thinking.
@al-Alameda:
The comic book fanboys hate season 1 because it is a prequel and not canon, but I think it is the stronger season by far.
Jackie Earle Haley astounds.
I want a t-shirt with a graphic of the inflatable poultry and text underneath that reads CHICKEN DONNIE
WOW! That is one big mother-clucker. But I’m not sure it was the “breast” idea to egg Trump on at this time, because he’s just cocky enough to start a war. Hopefully it won’t ruffle his feathers too much. Besides, he’s cooped up in New Jersey now.
I was worried the clever prankster, Taran Singh Brar, was going to fun “afowl” of the law, but he got the necessary permits. And no doubt he’s hatching up another wonderful prank mocking Trump while we’re still enjoying this one.

@al-Alameda:
Understandable, but the timing could not have been worse. We have a malignant narcissist contemplating war at the moment.
It’s all fun and games until someone gets nuked…
Frankly, if I had that guy in front of me now I would slap him so hard it would stupid his grand kids.
Sorry, but I’ve got nuthin. Laughing and crying too damn hard. Why didn’t we think of this with that other notorious thin-skinned one, RMN?
Doug Mataconis…You gotta stop trucking this balloon Chicken-Trump thing around D.C. late at night. Just sayin…
Now this is funny. The chicken has been repurposed.
